Q: But one of my big questions... can I use an include to pull the script for menu in?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

1. When I make an Item a Seperator using '-' on main menu Items (on a menu verticale javascript) it does NOT work (leaves a blank row) but when I make an Item a Separator using '-' on a Subitem it DOES work (uses the Separatorimage). Why ?
Can I make an Item a Separator on the main menu and get it to use the Separatorimage ?
2. If I set the text value to empty on a main menu Item and then add image paths in the Normal and Mouse Over Icon fields in Item Parameters, all I get on my preview is an image placeholder with a Red X but when I set the text value to empty on a SubItem and then add image paths in the Normal and Mouse Over Icon fields in Item Parameters, the preview DOES show the image. Why ?
How can I get the image to show on the main menu verticale javascript Item ?
A: 1. You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],];Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.

Q: I am currently having a look at the use of your drop down menu and was wondering if there was an option to make all of the top menu links the same size?
At current It looks like it is on a percentage increase related to the amount of text, can I change this to a fixed value no matter the text amount?
A: You can use Individual Item Style.
Use that parameter:
var itemWidth=100px
Width of an item (px, % or other units).
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150"], // style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home", "index.html", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "Home Page Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
["About", "about.html", "myicon3.gif", "myicon4.gif", "About Us Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
];
Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.
However, I can only choose one item in each menu.
Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?
Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.
Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);
